Queen drops in to rapturous reception at park opener


LONDON (Reuters) - Fresh from her starring role in the opening ceremony, Britain's Queen Elizabeth explored the Olympic Park on Saturday, bringing extra magic to the experience of visitors from around the world checking out the venues for the first time.

While workers dismantled the set from Danny Boyle's triumphant opening ceremony in the Olympic stadium, the queen surprised park visitors by riding the lift to the top of the tangled red Orbit Tower and giving a wave to roaring fans in the Aquatics Centre as she appeared on the results screen.
